Hi,

Does anyone know if the Login History data records get purged at all? We have clients that with the number of users and the number of processes that login can have about 70,000 entries a week in their Login History. This can easily escalate to 300,000 records in a month. Even though they download that data to excel and filter out automated process logins, the download and filtering out is a huge process due to so many records. Is there a way to purge these or do they get deleted automatically.

Thanks in advance,
Glenn

I�d like to allow users work with datetime fields using times based on the time zone set for their SFDC account, just as they appear in when logged via the web interface. Using .NET, the datetime values I receive back from the API have been converted to my machine�s local time zone. I realize that this is a .NET issue, and that I can convert these back into UTC as needed, but I need a way to then convert the UTC datetime to reflect the user�s time zone. Also, I need a way to take a dateime in from a user in their account�s local time (again not my machines) and convert it to UTC for sending in to the API.

Is there a way that I can obtain the time zone offset (DST aware) for a given user?  The User.Timezone field gives me a string â¬?region/keyâ¬? based time zone instead of an offset, so I can only make use of that with some sort of external lookup.

Is there a way to convert a datetime from a user�s local time into UTC using the same offset DST rules that would be used through the web based UI?

Im looking to attach a file to an account record.

The Attachment object talks about first converting the file to base64 binary.

Please point me in the right direction toward some examples of sending files to salesforce.com

Thankyou

Hello,

I am trying to create a new contact with the insert method

When I run this code:

object[] ret;

mapEntry[] record = new mapEntry[6];

//Create new mapentries and set the values for each field

record[0] = new mapEntry();

record[0].key = "firstName";

record[0].value = fname;

record[1] = new mapEntry();

record[1].key = "lastName";

record[1].value = lname;

record[2] = new mapEntry();

record[2].key = "Phone";

record[2].value = phone;

record[3] = new mapEntry();

record[3].key = "Fax";

record[3].value = fax;

record[4] = new mapEntry();

record[4].key = "Email";

record[4].value = email;

record[5] = new mapEntry();

record[5].key = "accountID";

record[5].value = accounttid;

ret = (object[]) sforce.insert("contact", record);

I get this error message:

Fault Code: 0

Fault string: bad field names on insert/update call: Email, Fax, Phone

I ran a describe on "Contact" and found that most of the fields were not accepted by insert.

Where can i find a list of valid fields to use in code.

Thankyou,

Hi,

Any one know of a way to keep Exchange and SF.com in sync automatically. (not using a manualy triggered Intellisync).

Problem:

Field Salesforce with GPRS enabled outlook devices (Blackberry's, XDA and other).

Want to make sure they are notified when someone else books them for an appointment and when they book an appointment. For various reasons just using Exchange or just using SF.com will not work.

Does anyone know of 3rd party synchronisation tool?

Thanks

Gareth.
